We can and should make a difference. [ 1 John 4 v8 ]

I am glad that I live in a stable country,so may countries are experiencing
so much turmoil,in dear old Canada, they have had an enormous Forrest fire.In the Middle East we  have awful violence,which has resulted in over 16 million refugees and internally displaced persons.Millions of people are on the move,seeking a place which is peaceful,free from the bullet and the bomb,and cruel religious fanatics,just recently there was a report of such a group going into a footballers supporters group and killing most of them, there reason being they believed that football was against their religion. There are also millions who are fleeing poverty,many of these dear people, are dying in their attempt to reach their goal.If we are Christians we cannot close our eyes to suffering,Jesus never did,and we are reminded that the law of God is fulfilled,in one word love.What can we as Christians do?,we can pray,our prayers can make a difference,it may not happen immediately ,but it will eventually, in Gods time ,we can befriend those who have come to live in our homelands.Let us remember that we who have experienced mercy,should show mercy,and we who have experienced love,should show love.
                                            A prayer.
 Dear God as you have loved us,so help us to embrace the lonely,and the unloved in Jesus name Amen.
